N24 Correspondent, KATHMANDU: A hundred Tibetan exiles have been arrested by security officials in Nepal over the past five days during protests to mark the 53rd anniversary of the Tibetan uprising. Six protestors were arrested on March 10, the day when Tibetans revolted against China in 1959.

And 94 others were arrested on Wednesday, the fourth anniversary of the 2008 Chinese clampdown in Tibet. Nepal follows a 'one China' policy and doesn't allow any form of demonstration by the nearly 22,000 Tibetan refugees based in the country. Under pressure from its northern neighbour, Nepal has stopped issuing identity cards to these refugees since 1989 and strictly monitors their movement and activities.
